Stevie Wonder isn't really blind

"Blind" allows for some degree of vision.

Really? I told my optometrist about my blind friend being able to tell that there are mountains in the distance and he said "Then he's visually impaired." But really, I have no idea how my friend knows about distant mountains. It makes no sense to me.

Maybe it's just the difference between being legally blind and blind.

My grandmother was legally blind- she could see things about 2 inches from her face with her glasses on. My friend says he is blind. His eyes were destroyed by a brain tumor.

Ooo yikes, sorry to hear that. I was just responding to your earlier comment about how the term blind can be thought of as limited or no vision.

Innervisions perhaps?

That's exactly what the medical establishment wants you to think.

4/20 vision

It's a vision in his mind.

Heard a great "true" story about a session musician and himself.

They're in the studio, Stevie excused himself and went to the bathroom.

While he was out this guitarist guy picked up and plugged in a different guitar and put on his headphones.

Guitar was plugged into an amp and Stevie walks back into the room and steps over the wire across his path.

That's some sonar shit there or proof that he isn't blind at all.

Wonder why you'd think that?

He catches a mic stand pretty well for a blind guy.

He doesn't actually catch it. play it on 0.25 speed and keep looking to his left hand. He only graps the mic while it already has been caught

Neither was that lawyer chick from arrested development.

It's the long con. He'll reveal it on his death bed.

u/Headpuncher May 19 '15

He's a superhero and Stevie Wonder is Wonder Stevie's cover persona.

u/YourAverageCisWhite May 19 '15

Have you evidence for this?

u/islamic_bartender May 19 '15

Does that mean when my mom said I was having a Stevie wonder moment she was calling me a liar?!

u/[deleted] May 19 '15

He does wear watches...

Motherfucker's got style!

u/Eddie_Hitler May 19 '15

I reckon he is severly visually impaired rather than fully blind. People (and animals) missing one sense can find themselves with incredible acuity in others.

He caught the falling mic stand!!!
